The country-specific GPR index reflects automated text-search results of the electronic archives of three U.S newspapers: The New York Times, Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post. For more details, see the overall Country-Specific GPR Index.
For each country-specific index, the top 15 geopolitical risk index spikes were identified and labeled with the corresponding geopolitical event. These events are marked by orange dots in the charts below.
